The Reach Gallery Museum is excited to present a South Asian Canadian Intergenerational Cooking Program in partnership with Archway Community Services!

Alongside other South Asian Canadian families, participants will cook their own dishes on a theme using their family’s unique recipes. Food tasting and sharing will conclude each session, and participants will vote on their favorite dish. The winning recipe wins a prize package of South Asian culinary items! Afterwards, participants can take their dishes home to share with family! Through the cooking environment, elders will help the next generation learn to cook their family dishes and understand their cultural traditions. All supplies will be provided, and facilitation will be provided in both Punjabi and English languages. Ages 11

The City of Abbotsford is in the process of developing an Accessibility Plan that will identify, remove and reduce barriers for individuals within the community. The plan builds on our current accessibility achievements to date and has been created to meet the legislated requirements of the Accessible British Columbia Act.

The City of Abbotsford needs to hear from you in order to develop an Accessibility Action Plan. At these engagement sessions, we hope to gain community feedback about ways in which we can remove barriers for persons with disabilities and other marginalized populations.

Please join us at Semá:th Elementary School (36321 Vye Rd, Abbotsford, BC V3G 1Z5) on Monday May 13 from 6-8pm.

In 2007 the founding board members of the Run for Water Society conceptualized a unique event to be hosted in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The vision was to stage a top tier internationally recognized running event that would attract a wide range of participants and athletes and, at the same time, raise awareness – and funds – for people in the developing world who lack one of life’s basic necessities – clean water. Since 2008, this volunteer board has staged an annual road race and now additionally organizes trail runs and gravel grind events.

Funds raised – over $4,000,000 to date – go towards helping building clean water projects in some of the most remote and marginalized areas of Ethiopia.

The Airshow will also help mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force with a variety of RCAF displays in the air and on the ground.
